This Tuesday, January 21, the President of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro, emphatically confirmed that it was the illegal and criminal economic sanctions against the country, in the years 2017, 2018 and 2019, “requested by the extremist right, by the failed opposition of Guaidó and company, that caused the migration that Venezuela had never had.”

He also mentioned the action “of the coyotes led by the same opposition, by Leopoldo López, Carlos Vecchio, Pizarro, Smolansky who, through Colombia, began to take Venezuelans with a false offer through social networks to some South American countries and then took them to the United States.”

He said that when migrants return to Venezuela “recover many things, first of all, respect as human beings and also their right to leisure with their family.”

In that scenario, he said that “I always tell my migrant brothers and sisters, Venezuela is waiting for them, it's a blessed land and everyone will return to be happy working, producing.”

“How much does a migrant suffer there in Chicago, in New York, when he sees his panas on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday rumbling here and he there suffering because of sanctions,” he highlighted during the meeting with the Economic Council and the appointment of those responsible for the Productive Engines.

The approach he made when referring to the upcoming Carnival and Holy Week holidays, “everyone is in a fuss about traveling, dancing, rumba, which is so important for Venezuelans, their right to rumble”.

He confirmed that he considers the tourism sector “as the secret weapon of the future development of Venezuela, which has experienced such a beautiful process in recent years of hotel supply, of growth in quality domestic tourism.”
